avoid destructive thinking. improper negative thoughts sink people. a ship
can sail around the world many times, but let enough water get into the ship
and it will sink. just so with the human mind. let enough negative thoughts or
improper thoughts get into the human mind and the person
sinks just like a ship. Alfred A. Montapert

to laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the
affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure
the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a
redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because
you have lived. this is to have succeeded. Ralph Emerson
